Warm weather and water balloons - Gavin thinks that's a great combination!

Basketball hoops are still pretty tall, but Gavin's getting taller!

Gavin turned 4 - here he is blowing out his candles

Gavin was really excited about getting a skateboard. Here is is with all his pads on - wrist, elbow and knees.

And here he is learning to skateboard!

Bryden played on a 3 on 3 soccer league this summer

All that running around can make a guy thirsty

Rolly bugs were really popular this summer - here are Eleanor, Gavin and Angelina looking for some

We did our annual trek up Little Si again this year. This was the first year that Gavin walked all the way to the top and back without any help!

Bryden and Gavin ready for the hike

Gavin is very excited about making it to the top!

Of course, Bryden made it to the top, too

We had a picnic at Waverly Park

Gavin loves climbing on the playground equipment
